Standard procedure - ring the number and ask the called party.  SignatureHiram Hackenbacker Hello, If you know anyone working for a phone company they can do a reverse search for you. Someone at BT I knew used to do it and it was called a DSOL, Display State Of Line or something. It give subscriber details, probably against all the Data Protection Acts but that's how things get done. nothing is private if you know the right people, the same happens with registration numbers on cars. Easy to obtain details from the DVLA direct! > Is there a way i can find out information about a mobile number? ie. who's > number it is??? 07967 is the network number!! > Hello, > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Is there a way i can find out information about a mobile number? ie. who's > > number it is??? 07967 is the network number!! Doesn't work with mobiles. 07967 was originally an Orange number but with porting (what a horrible name - shortened version of 'transporting') the number could now be accessing any system. In most cases you will still be charged as if it were an Orange number. -- Woody harrogate2@ntlworld.com [snip] > Doesn't work with mobiles. 07967 was originally an Orange number but with > porting (what a horrible name - shortened version of 'transporting') the > number could now be accessing any system.

Not true; you will be charged for the network the number is on if calling from a mobile, or the original network (in this case Orange) if calling from a landline. Incidentally, reverse searches are illegal under the Data Protection Act AFAIK. Ivor >Incidentally, reverse searches are illegal under the Data Protection Act >AFAIK. Perhaps we have our terminology wrong here but reverse searches by those managing directory enquiries (and others authorised to use the relevant databases) are legel.

Well obviously, but someone did mention "if you know someone working for BT..." or whatever... Ivor > In most cases you will still be >charged as if it were an Orange number. Only if calling from a fixed line. All mobile networks charge according to the network that the number is now on.
